Chapter 194: Breaking Through the Chase Valley (Part I)

Datong River, one of the tributaries of the Yellow River, west from the Tole South Mountain, east of the Huangshui, after the flow into the Yellow River, the total length is not more than a thousand miles, the amount of water is not too big, however, the river valley is deep and narrow, the water potential is turbulent, only the middle stream Haomen River and the downstream Babaochuan valley is wide and low, the forest is luxuriant, the pasture is abundant, it is an important agricultural and animal husbandry area of the Qilian Mountains, especially the Babaochuan area, the climate is humid, the cold and heat are suitable, since the Spring and Autumn Period, it has been one of the important pastoral areas of Zhuqiang, when the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the Xiongnu, it is to fully manage Hexi, The Babao River was built along the Babao River into one of the granaries of Hexi.

Today, although after the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the irrigation acres in the Babaochuan area have decreased slightly, but it is still the title of the granary of Hexi, most of the rice and grain in Lanzhou come from here, but now the ** new defeat, has been unable to defend the whole territory of Babaochuan, had to retreat across the Datong River, according to Yunwu City and the Tubo army on the other side of the confrontation, although there is no large-scale war between the two sides, the small-scale battles between the rangers are frequently staged, in general, by the local garrison mainly ** slightly suffered, the rangers sent have rarely crossed the Datong River, The land of Henan has fallen into the hands of the Tubo army, of course, little does not mean no, no, at this time, there is a small team of less than thirty people is taking advantage of the darkness before dawn, wading on foot towards the south bank of the Datong River.

It was late autumn, the weather should have been cold, but because of the drought this year, the temperature in Hexi was still abnormally hot, even though it was infiltrated by the humidity of the Datong River, but it still could not alleviate the ravages of the autumn tigers, that is, there was some comforting coolness at dawn, but at this time Li Xian, who was hidden in a small earthen bag, was obviously not in the mood to enjoy the rare coolness, and stared at the team that was wading across the river without blinking, his face looked solemn, but in fact, his heart was full of nervousness and apprehension.

Li Xian was really nervous, although he knew that nervousness would not help at all, but Li Xian's heart still couldn't help but be nervous - he couldn't help but be nervous, you must know that this was the first time in his life that he fought, this was such a large-scale battle, even if the course of the war had been repeatedly deduced, and it had been done as foolproof as possible, but there was no perfect plan in this world, in case, if there was really a case, the consequences would be unbearable, so that Li Xian couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he thought about it, It's just that now, the arrow has left the string, and there is no possibility of turning back, so Li Xian can only silently wait for the signal to start the war to be sent back......

The water of the Datong River is not deep, in this dry season, the deepest part of the river is only two and a half feet, at most it can only drown to people's thighs, but it is extremely cold, with the cold of the water of the snow-capped mountains, Rao is Ling Zhong has long been mentally prepared, but the moment his feet just stepped into the water, he was still frozen and grinned and gasped, and couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to hesitate slightly, just because he knew very well the meaning of his attack, and he couldn't tolerate a slight mistake, otherwise, It will inevitably affect the smooth progress of the overall battle situation.

Although he couldn't see it really, he could only vaguely see a few bright lights flashing from time to time in the dark night ahead, but Ling Zhong knew that that place was where the first camp of the Tubo army was located, about a mile away from the river, there were not many soldiers in the interior, and there were only more than 1,000 people in the Communist Party, but they occupied the narrowest part of the pass, and pinched the route of the ** march, which belonged to the list that must be removed, but that was not the purpose of Ling Chong's trip, all he had to do was to clear the light and dark posts in the surrounding area and seize the walled gate. Create a good opportunity for your own army to attack and win a battle.

The gurgling sound of the Datong River covered the wading sound of Ling Chong and others crossing the river, and the darkness before dawn gave everyone the best cover effect, but it was only half a pillar of incense, Ling Chong and others had unknowingly landed on the opposite bank, with Ling Chong's "start" gesture, a group of people and others scattered into the darkness like ghosts with blades smeared with mud, and each dived to the predetermined target that had already been observed, but Ling Chong himself did not move, but stood silently in place for a moment, estimating the time, After taking a deep breath, the cat sped forward with his waist bent on.

The wet pants clinged to the meat, and then the wind blowing from the pass, it was really uncomfortable, but Ling Zhong didn't care about it, the whole person was like a dexterous raccoon cat shuttling between the grass and bushes, and quickly approached the distance of only forty zhang from the Tubo village gate, and the road was very smooth, but this kind of good luck seemed to end here, just when Ling Chong just came out from behind a big rock, and was about to jump into a clump of weeds two zhang away, suddenly a premonition of extreme danger came to his heart, Ling Zhong was startled, and hurriedly twisted his waist in the air, forcibly changing from the front vertical to the side, and as soon as the person landed, the corner of his eye saw a knife light swept through the air, and it was slashing at the place where Ling Chong should have passed before.

Damn, careless! Ling Chong had been ambushed on the other side of the river before sunset, and he had checked the location of the light and dark posts arranged by the Tubo army, and there should have been no secret whistle here in his memory, but at this time, such a secret whistle came out, if it wasn't for Ling Chong's quick reaction, the knife just now would have been enough to cut Ling Chongsheng into two, which made Ling Chong afraid, and his body was covered in cold sweat, but at this moment, Ling Chong didn't care about it, and he didn't even care about turning over and getting up, as soon as he raised his hand, a sleeve arrow had been shot out, But listening to the "whoosh", the sleeve arrow cut through the space and accurately shot into the throat of the Tibetan dark whistle who intercepted and killed.

"Dangchang!"

Ling Chong's kung fu with this hand is indeed good, and he has shot the Tubo sentry on the spot with just one blow, but unfortunately Ling Zhong is lying on the ground at this time, and he is really powerless to stop the scimitar in the hand of the Tubo sentry from rolling down, so he can only watch the scimitar fall on a big stone, and a crisp sound ripples away in the night sky.

To be bad! Ling Zhong turned over in frustration, stared nervously at the gate of the village not far away, and sure enough, he saw a group of Tibetan officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the village seemed to notice the movement here, and was stretching their necks to look at the place where the sound sounded.

Ten people, damn it, big trouble! With the help of the bright light of the torches, Ling Chong counted it slightly, and the cold sweat on his forehead immediately poured out - if it was a weekday, ten Tubo soldiers Ling Chong did not put it in his eyes, even if he could not be completely annihilated, but if he wanted to get out, it was very easy, but at this time it was troublesome, even if he could kill this team of patrol sentinels, but he could not prevent this team of patrol posts from sending out a signal to the police, once the Tubo camp was alarmed, the originally scheduled surprise attack plan was bound to be aborted/born, and it was very likely that it would be a bitter battle, and it would really be at that time, The battle plan to rush through the Chase Valley as quickly as possible would also be in danger of failure, and if he did, he would be a sinner for the ages.

"Goo, goo......"

Just when Ling Zhong was very anxious, a gentle birdsong sounded one after another, and then a series of black-clothed figures flashed from the left and right, but it was the Datang detectives who had dispersed before who had completed their mission and came to rendezvous.

It's too late! Although the officers and soldiers under his command came to gather one after another, the number soon exceeded twenty, but that group of Tubo patrol posts will also go within ten zhang, Ling Chong knew that time was no longer enough to avoid this team of patrol posts, and the reservation plan to kill the enemy in front of the gate silently was obviously unrealizable, and now there were only two ways to go - one was to give up, when he could keep all his men safe, but unfortunately Ling Zhong could not do this, just because if he did this, the overall battle plan would inevitably incur a heavy setback, even if he could escape, It is impossible to escape Li Xian's punishment, so there is only one way left, and that is to kill, kill a way out!

"Rush up, kill!"

Ling Chong was a very murderous person, this made up his mind, he did not hesitate at all, raised his hand, threw the ceremonial flower that he had already held in his hand into the sky, and then roared regardless of it, and slammed the knife towards the team of Tubo patrol posts.

Oh no, something happened! As soon as the ceremonial flowers exploded in the night sky, Li Xian had already reacted at the first time, and his heart couldn't help but sink - Li Xian made preparations with both hands in advance, and the best situation was that Ling Zhong and others successfully cleared all the light and dark posts of the Tubo army, and then took advantage of the dark night to seize the door of the enemy village, and divided the manpower into the enemy village to set fire, creating the greatest chaos, and Li Xian's main force took the fire as the signal, and the whole army took advantage of the enemy's chaos to kill the enemy camp and break the enemy in one fell swoop, the whole army attacked the enemy village, and now, the ceremonial flowers have bloomed in the night sky, which shows that Ling Zhong and others have encountered trouble, and it is inevitable that they will be afraid of being disadvantaged.

"Blow the trumpet, the whole army will attack!"

There was no time to hesitate, although he was extremely annoyed in his heart, Li Xian did not dare to hesitate, raised his voice and roared angrily, and then threw down the small dirt bag, flew on the horse's back, and rode the horse to the other side of the river to kill him.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Li Xian was the first to attack, and the five thousand elite ** who had been on standby for a long time launched a charge, and in an instant, the sound of horns, horses' hooves, and neighing resounded through the night sky, and countless cavalry swept across the Datong River like a tide, rushing towards the Tubo camp that had become a mess like a giant tornado......
